“He had six completions in eight attempts for thirty-nine yards over 12 games.”

It was the coach's decision to limit Tebow to 8 pass attempts - not Tebow’s. (One of the incompletions was a dropped pass; the other a throw-away to prevent a sack.)

Still, I have to respect the coach's decision to keep Tebow away from the ball and preserve the team's 6-10 season. Great call.

And the 6 completions gave him an average YPC of only 6.5 - 67th out of the 68 QBs who completed a pass that year.

True. Could have been 4-12 or 2-14 otherwise.
